Jet, my foster mom, has found it hard to live in a neighborhood where owners have to pick up their dogs’ poop. She grew up in the sticks where dogs did their deed anywhere and there was no neighbor, law enforcement officer or Home Owner’s Association who cared about it.
Having said that, it is the rule in our neighborhood and she carries colorful, eco-friendly bags to pick up my poop when we go on walks. Since I spend more time with humans than dogs, I notice that there should be a rule where humans need to pick up their poop too. Now before you get bent out of shape about what this implies, let me clarify.
Humans are constantly making ‘messes’ in other peoples’ yards (litter), other peoples’ lives (divorces, child custody fights) and businesses (theft, fraud). It may look one way but in truth, it’s just another type of poop one human drops on another human’s life.
So, here’s my lesson of the day… Stop ‘dropping’ all these problems on other humans. When you do drop poop on other people’s lives, pick it up instead of leaving your mess for someone else to clean up.
Okay, the question of the day is from Miso who asked: Dear Parker, you should see my new figure. I had gained a lot of weight but I only ate what was given me so I couldn’t understand why I kept getting fatter and my joints were failing under the extra weight. My mom got “pre-measured food” and it’s working.
Dear Miso:
Love your name… like Miso Soup. Cute. I’m thrilled to hear your weight is where it should be. Even though most dogs should have measured food portions, most humans fail to actually serve the correct amount. One of the veterinarian approved products on the market today that is ideal for solving this problem is called Prescription Diet. The box contains pre-packaged food and treats in individual packets. (See photo below.) This ensures you are only served what you should be eating at each meal.
